Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating world of floriography, the language of flowers, a means of communication that blossomed during the Victorian era. Flowers, with their delicate petals and vibrant hues, transcended mere aesthetics to become messengers of heartfelt emotions and secret messages. The author meticulously unveils the symbolic meanings ascribed to various flowers, weaving a tapestry of historical anecdotes, botanical insights, and poetic references. Each flower is portrayed as a unique emblem, carrying a distinct sentiment, from the ardent passion of the red rose to the unwavering loyalty of the forget-me-not.
